TLDR: Jaime Maussan is worse than Greer and Corbell (BY A LONG SHOT). He’s actually in a league of his own.
I think a lot of people in this sub and in the UFO world are very excited right now because of the UFO hearings in Mexico, but I think this is a good time to remind everyone that critical thinking is very important in this field, as well as a healthy amount of skepticism. First, as many people here have explained, the Mexican government did not disclose or admit anything. They invited people to discuss the UFO, and those people presented the supposed mummified bodies and videos–not the government. One of the main participants at the hearing was Jaime Maussan, a well-known sensationalist in the Spanish-speaking world. He is also known for promoting cases that turn out to be hoaxes.
Jaime Maussan has been a long-time TV personality that talks about UFOs and other paranormal things. I grew up watching him on Spanish television. The problem is that Jaime Maussan consistently pushes for things that later turn out to be hoaxes, and in some cases, pure scams:
In 2015, he organized an event in Mexico in which he was going to reveal a set of slides of a purported alien body from the 1940s. Maussan charged for the event and ended up selling thousands of tickets. Anyway, the alien body in the pictures was actually a picture of a mummified two-year old boy that had been on display at a museum at the Mesa Verde National Park.

Maussan also tried to convince the world that he had the body of a small alien creature, which came to be known as the Metepec Creature. It was later revealed that the creature was actually a Buffy-tufted Marmoset.

In 2017, Jaime Maussan began pushing the subject of mummified alien bodies from Peru. He presented the body of a supposed mummified aline that turned out to have 110% human DNA. What’s weird is that the body appeared to be put together from body parts belonging to different people. For example, the hand contained bones belonging to both neonatal children and also adults.

Jaime was also involved in pushing a demon-fairy hoax

Here’s an example of one of the many fake alien photos that Jaime has published/backed:
